Joseph P. DiMino Poet Prose Poetry

Freedom

Freedom is not a mere concept,
nor a philosophy, nor a political
opinion – it is what drives men
to revolution, and masses from
religion: The want of freedom
turns children from parents, and
spouses away from domineering
mates.... Freedom is why God
deplores sin, and why Jesus did
not run, chose being nailed to a 
cross, rather than propagate the
the control of Mammon – Freedom
is why authoritarianism has its appeal,
and also why it ultimately fails....
Freedom is Christ! Freewill the
most misunderstood concept in
the Universe. Freewill means,
all is created by our minds,
hearts and wills – the world 
around us, our very physical
bodies, the manifestation of
a shallow, self possessed consciousness,
driven by the fearful lie of limited
existence. Freedom is not what you 
think you know, but what is real, 
all creation the expression of the 
omnipotent, immortal Body of God.
Death~is a survivable illusion!

Evelyn Judy Buehler February 21, 2022 at 10:21 PM Very deep and insightful, Joe. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Evelyn Joseph P. DiMino February 22, 2022 at 8:38 AM Hi Evelyn; sad to see American, and the rest of the world, go down the tubes of Socialism -- unless women stand-up, turn from the, so called, safety-net of the Democrat Party (Marxist Party) (women~the backbone of the Democrat Party) individual property ownership and freedom will be things of the past. It is up to Woman-kind.

Anil Deo February 19, 2022 at 10:03 AM Without you. There is neither me, Universe, God, or light. One ( or One Accord, see Acts 1-2, 9-17. John's Gospel 14-17; 21). Live & shalom Father DeMino Joseph P. DiMino February 19, 2022 at 11:36 AM Thank you, Anil, for your faithful reminder. So sad to see the world needlessly go through such purification, pains my heart. Oh well, what needs be will be. Blessings my friend!

Gershon Wolf February 18, 2022 at 6:09 AM And right in front of our eyes today, Freedom is why citizens of Ukraine are resisting the godless monster named Putin -- and why eventually Ukraine will triumph too. Eventually. Maybe not this decade, but eventually... Putin and Xi, tyrants who hold themselves to be gods, eventually crumble and crumple. Eventually. ~ Patience, gw Joseph P. DiMino February 19, 2022 at 7:10 AM Fighting starting in Ukraine today. Looks like you were right and I was wrong. I was thinking like a sane person, saying to myself, why on earth would Putin go into Ukraine, causing death and destruction when they already have a cooperative relationship?~he's a madman. He has sided with China (and if Germany is on board) (Canada under a Dictator loving Trudeau) (a soulless USA under Autocratic rule)~Europe and the world are in big trouble. 1984 around the corner. Joseph P. DiMino February 18, 2022 at 9:10 AM Hi Gershon, unfortunately while many Ukraine's are freedom loving, Putin already has a friend in its present Autocracy, that has eliminated the opposition party. Putin would be a fool to go into Ukraine if life will be lost. Many Russian soldiers would be killing their own relatives, which would prompt a deadly insurgency, haunting Putin till his demise. He wants NATO, openly to state that it will never let Ukraine join, which his silent partner in crime, Biden, has already agreed to with a wink and a nod. The major conflict will be Taiwan, and the US I believe has already thrown the Taiwanese under the bus for the same reasons, in lock step with our present authoritarian leaning government -- hope I am wrong, but I did not just fall off the back of a turnip truck. Joe.
